In order to enable an iCal export link, your account needs to have an API key created. This key enables other applications to access data from within Indico even when you are neither using nor logged into the Indico system yourself with the link provided. Once created, you can manage your key at any time by going to 'My Profile' and looking under the tab entitled 'HTTP API'. Further information about HTTP API keys can be found in the Indico documentation.

I have read and understood the above.

Additionally to having an API key associated with your account, exporting private event information requires the usage of a persistent signature. This enables API URLs which do not expire after a few minutes so while the setting is active, anyone in possession of the link provided can access the information. Due to this, it is extremely important that you keep these links private and for your use only. If you think someone else may have acquired access to a link using this key in the future, you must immediately create a new key pair on the 'My Profile' page under the 'HTTP API' and update the iCalendar links afterwards.

Next Generation Physical Analytics

Weiser’s vision of ubiquitous computing is becoming a reality through technology such as the IoT. A key research challenge lies in providing analytics that capture user interaction with these systems. I will explore this issue using a case study based on pervasive display networks. Traditional signage analytics provide a display-centric view of the world, reporting data on content shown, audience numbers and demographics. This is problematic if we want to understand where, for example, to place content in a network of physically distributed digital signs to optimise content exposure. Synthetic analytics combine mobility simulations with signage analytics data to provide viewer-centric analytics. This approach enables us to ask questions of the analytics from the viewer’s perspective for the first time, transforming the way signage networks, and pervasive IoT systems more generally, can be understood and managed.
